Just returned from my first ever flight to SNF, I had been once before, but
drove in from Zephyrhills. The arrival procedure went much smoother than I
had expected. I got behind a Cherokee that didn't (or couldn't )maintain
the specified 100 K and had to slow to about 70. Then on the ground, the
taxi directors didn't see my HB (for home built) parking sign and I would up
#1 for take off before I realized something was wrong. I'm sure Buz will
cover this event in great detail in the next newsletter.
Big news! Dana is working on her Light Sport license. She won't let me ride
on the back of her motorcycle, but maybe I'll have the opportunity to fly
with her someday.
Lightning has great locations, the main display with two Lightnings and two
Jabs was across the street from the FAA building. The new Light Sport was
prominently displayed in the LS Corral. Both had good traffic and, I hope
significant sales.
The Friday corn roast at the Lightning/Jab display was great. We had a
number of Lightning owners there and the Lightning crew were great hosts - as
usual. I got to connect faces to names for several owners. There'll be
photos and names in the next newsletter. As a University of Alabama grad, I was
happy to finally meet Bear Bryant.
I got to camp with Buz's group in a wooded area just off vintage aircraft
parking. Great location, and a great group of folks. This is the way to go.
Some comments about SNF. One everybody will remember. It was DIRTY. As Buz
had noted earlier, they burned the grass prior to the event. Bad decision.
I'm going to have to wash everything twice. This time was no where near as
crowded as my one earlier visit. Sign of the times in a slow economy.
Frankly I liked it better without the crowd.

Thanks for posting this. I think that turned out to be a good
article/announcement for the boys, (and gals) in Shelbyville.
Jim!

Thanks Pete and the Arion crew and dealers for having the Lightning get
together on Friday instead of mid week. I can only attend these events
towards the end of the week because of my work commitments and have always
missed this event. It is always great to see old friends and associate new
faces with those you have talked to via the internet. I will be posting my
pics soon.
I had a great time. I was able to get a great price on a AvMap Geopilot II
Plus to use as a backup GPS and weather in my new panel. I spent some good
quality time with the folks from Lockwood, they are great to talk to.
I thought it was a great idea to have Green Landings in the booth. It added
another Lightning on display and more sales people to represent the
aircraft. The booth was busy all day on the Thursday and Friday that I was
there, and there were plenty of people to answer questions. Plus with so
many owners around, the people looking had lots of folks to talk to. To
the owners who made themselves available to talk to potential buyers, hats
off to you! When I was looking for an airplane, I always looked for a
non-company person to get an opinion from as this just seemed a little more
realistic to me as they had experienced what I was about to go through in
building an airplane.
As always Buz, good to talk "shop" with you some more. To all of you, as a
result of my conversation with Buz, I will be taking on two tasks.
1. Total rebuild of www.jimslightning.com in the fall to be primarily
a resource site for information on the Lightning, not just a site for the
build of N730AL.
2. Starting this month, I will take each Lightning newsletter and turn
them into a searchable chunk of information. If you want to go to articles
about say, wheel pants, you can select it and see everything that was
written in the newsletter about the topic. I'm not quite sure how I want to
do this, but will come up with some ideas and then do a little programming
to support it. It may be trial and error for a little while, but you guys
have been great in helping me find "Jim web mistakes" in the past and I look
forward to the help in the future.
I noticed the smaller crowds too and a few less vendors. Of the several
vendors that I spoke with some were wondering if they would be attending in
the future. I tried to encourage everyone I spoke with and even bought some
things at the show instead of waiting till I got home. The size of the show
is nice, and it was pretty easy to park. Matt Chapman and Sean Tucker
always amaze me . In my opinion, they are the best people flying out there.
I know I am a little prejudice for Matt, but I always love how he
incorporated RC aerobatic maneuvers into his show.
All in all, a great time and I will be back again next year. This will
probably be the first major fly-in that I fly to with my Lightning. Oshkosh
2009 will be too soon for me with my limited experience.
Jim!
